Keys Ranch: Where Time Stood Still National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Keys Ranch: Where Time Stood Still Keys Ranch: Where Time Stood Still (Photo by Harmon and Nelda King, National Park Service) In the high desert of California, flesh-colored boulders rise up out of the stark landscape and embrace a small valley where Keys Ranch stands. Strangely shaped trees cast long shadows on the sides of the simple wooden ranch structures. Animal tracks in the sand tell of the previous night's adventures when scorpions, kangaroo rats, snakes, and bobcats battled for survival. This seemingly hostile desert environment was settled much later than other more productive areas of the West. Yet it was here, in 1917, that Bill Keys chose to establish a ranch and raise a family. Keys and other 20th-century homesteaders lived much as earlier pioneers in the West had, working hard to make their marginal land holdings successful. Today, Keys Ranch is preserved as part of Joshua Tree National Park.

  • The Imperial Valley Is Located About 150 Miles Southeast of Los Angeles
    The Imperial Valley is located about 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles. It is a section of a much larger geologic structure -- the Salton Trough -- which is about 1,000 miles in length. The structure extends from San Gorgonio Pass southeast to the Mexican border, including the Gulf of California and beyond the tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The surrounding mountains are largely faulted blocks of the Southern California batholith of Mesozoic age, overlain by fragments of an earlier metamorphic complex. The valley basin consists of a sedimentary fill of sands and gravels ranging up to 15,000 feet in thickness. The layers slope gently down-valley, and contain several important aquifers. The valley is laced with major members of the San Andreas Fault system. Minor to moderate earthquake events are common, but severe shocks have not been experienced in recorded history. The entire trough, including the Gulf is an extension of the East Pacific Rise, a zone of separation in Earth's crust. Deep sea submergence instruments have observed many phenomena of crustal formation. The axis of the Rise, hence of the Salton Valley as well, is a great transform fault that is having the effect of separating an enormous slab of North America, consisting of the Baja Peninsula and coastal California away from the mainland, with movement to the northwest and out to sea as a terranne.

  • The High Desert Alfalfa Production Region of California Is Located From
    ALFALFA PRODUCTION IN THE HIGH DESERT Steve B. Orloff and Rhonda R. Gildersleeve' ( The high desert alfalfa production region of California is located from the Mojave Desert which includes portions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Kern Counties, north to Inyo and Mono Counties. Alfalfa fields in the high desertare clustered in isolated valleys with long stretchesof desert betweenthem. Thesevalleys are so isolated and dispersedthat the climate, growing conditions, soil types, and even the production practices and problems can vary considerably between production areas. The main alfalfa production areas and their characteristics are presentedin table 1. Many people mistakenly believe that "desert" is "desert", and lump the high desert with the low desert. However, those that are familiar with both areas realize there are very distinct differences. The climate in the high desert is unique, but has similarities with both the low desert and the colder northern parts of the state. The high desert climate is characterized by large swings in temperature, both from day to night and from summer to winter. Winter low temperatures between zero to ten degrees(negative 10 to 20 in the northern mountain valleys) have been recorded (particularly this last year), while summer temperatures exceeding 110 degrees commonly occur. A drop in temperature of 40 to 50 degreesbetween day and night is not uncommon. Spring frosts as late as April (and even June in northern high-elevation areas) are routine, and slow alfalfa growth. Winds are a common denominator throughout all of the high-desert valleys. Most areas have a prevailing "breeze" of 10 to 20 miles per hour during the day.
